Time Zone will not Automatically Update

We have an iPhone 15 Plus. Time Zone automatically updated always. During a trip from eastern US to Bangkok, iPhone time zone auto updated from EST to CST to Tokyo time zones. However, it did not update from Tokyo to Bangkok. The iPhone has always auto updated before and internet service has not changed. We did not mess with any settings in Japan. It appears the auto update is searching for the time zone. Lastly, Our other iPhone 15 Plus updated to Bangkok automatically. Help.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches. Turn off your iPhone, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.

  1. Restart the device. That's it.
  2. Still not solved --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support



Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.


  • When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
  • To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
  • To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
  • Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
